Whatever happened to Sleepless in Seattle? I know it was supposed to tour but that fell through, could it make a comeback? It's obviously got a book and score already if they had already put it on sale, so maybe we will see that soon?

Why are they supporting this of all the shows in the West End? I get the whole Games supporting it or whatever, but why in the first place? Of all shows?! I don't get it. No idea, but invictus already announced so not that tonight. |

So now we know it isn't Dear Evan Hansen, I'm even more perplexed about what is following Motown into the Shaftesbury!

Next year is turning into a seriously amazing year for theatre in London.  that said, I imagine that's it for transfers from Broadway. This is already more than we usually get in a year, with 9 to 5, Come From Away, Waitress and Evan Hansen. |

Given their track record of importing small scale US productions wholesale, the St Ann’s Oklahoma (bluegrass band, a very dark take on the material) might be a good fit for a summer Menier Chocolate Factory show.

I could still do with another year of 42nd Street tho, move the refurb, they've already moved it like 4 times for the show. 😂😂 |

Is it too much to ask for Great Comet to resurface? So desperate.

I mean exactly what I said.... Cameron wants Les Mis to stay on the Avenue. Dear Evan Hanson will go to the Gielgud and Les Mis will move to the Lyric - only if they can push Thriller out. If not it will mess up those plans. So the prediction about the theatre for DEH was wrong. Noooo, I’m not keeping tabs at all. |

Didn't stop them in Brazil, or the upcoming Japan production, or the smaller productions that are going to be dotted around the US :3 |

Anytime you see someone announce a tour you always see 750 billion comments saying BRAZILLLLL!! In truth, its real expensive. It would of taken ages to recoup. I think it would struggle over here. |

The only reason it ran as long as it did on Broadway is because of Josh Groban. I found the show banal and hard to follow. |

Love me a bit of "Something Rotten!" Think that'll come over? I know it's on tour in US at the moment but that'd fit so well here. |

I don’t think it will but I would absolutely love if it did. Likewise. Looks so funny from the clips I've seen and the music is just superb. Was also holding out for a Charlie Choc UK tour (as it was said at the time that one was planned) but looking unlikely now  |

Carrie is currently unavailable for amateur rights - this is exciting to think PTM might also bring that back!

He tweeted the other month about bringing one of his shows back. I guess it's that.

Was also holding out for a Charlie Choc UK tour (as it was said at the time that one was planned) but looking unlikely now Charlie UK tour was pulled after it flopped on Broadway. That was to be the template for future productions so I think they had to stop and rethink. I'm sure it'll happen eventually, but not until after they've got the US tour up and running and successfully making a return. Never knew. The Broadway version looked really bad, no wonder it flopped. Would have been great to see the UK version touring. |

I don’t think it will but I would absolutely love if it did. Tweeted to John O'Farrell yesterday. One of the book writers for Something Rotten. I asked if it'll ever come to the West End. He replied and said "We are working on it!" Literally so hyped. |
